The politicians make it sound like they are starving, but all they say they need is 1 billion in a 50+ billion budget.
And for that they cry about needing more $, but anybody can find 2 percent to cut. I'd rather they cut their budget, so I can keep spending and growing the economy.
This is a trojan horse anyway, once they get the sales tax increase, they will be taking more than just a billion out of the productive economy.
